The Tri-Active nozzle is a multi-purpose nozzle for carpets and hard oors.

- The side brushes catch more dust and dirt at the sides of the nozzle and allow you to clean

better along furniture and other obstacles (Fig. 9).

- The opening at the front of the nozzle allows you to suck up larger particles (Fig. 10).

1 Use the hard oor setting to clean hard oors (for instance tiled, parqueted, laminated and

linoleumed ooring): push the rocker switch on top of the nozzle with your foot to make the

brush strip come out of the housing. At the same time, the wheel is lifted to prevent

scratching and to increase manoeuvrability (Fig. 11).

2 Use the carpet setting to clean carpets: push the rocker switch again to make the brush strip

disappear into the nozzle housing. The wheel is lowered automatically (Fig. 12).
